About the role

If you've been bored somewhere else, you won't be here. - The Impact: Every person at Giga touches the work that matters.
No layers, no waiting for approval chains.
You'll see your fingerprints on what we ship. - The Team: A team of operators defining the future of AI infrastructure.

Hundreds of billions of dollars will flow into power and data center assets over the next decade, and the people who build the financing playbooks now will define how this entire industry gets funded.
Lead the project finance function end to end - from originating lender and investor relationships, to structuring and negotiating facilities, to closing deals, to managing post-close compliance and reporting.
Build and lead the team - hire, develop, and manage the project finance organization. Define the operating model, the review process, and the bar for financial rigor as the team scales from one to many.
Drive deals to close on Giga's timelines - lead financial due diligence and lender-facing workstreams, coordinate across legal, engineering, and operations, and hold the pen on the financial narrative from term sheet through funding.
Partner with the CEO and CFO on enterprise capital strategy - inform decisions on project selection, portfolio construction, capital allocation, and the corporate financing stack that sits above the project level.
Monthly team onsites where all offices come in-person to collaborate
As Giga's Head of Project Finance, you will own capital formation for the company.

Proven record of closing large-scale non-recourse and limited-recourse debt facilities for physical infrastructure assets, including construction-phase financing, at sizes that have materially moved a portfolio.
Executive presence and narrative skill - you're as credible in a board meeting as you are in a credit committee, and you can turn complex structures into clear risk-return stories for any audience.
High agency and builder's instinct - you are energized, not unnerved, by the prospect of writing the playbook rather than following one.
Experience with equipment-level financing, sale-leaseback structures, or asset-backed lending for industrial or power assets.
MBA, CFA, or graduate degree in a quantitative field.

Subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance
Equity (options) in a rapidly growing startup
Parental leave
Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA)
Commuter benefits
You will report directly to the CFO, work shoulder-to-shoulder with the CEO, and sit at the table with tier-one lenders, infrastructure funds, and tax equity investors as the principal, not the advisor.
This role comes with meaningful equity in a company at the inflection point of a generational buildout.

A team of operators defining the future of AI infrastructure.
We recruit A-players from the most innovative companies in the world, and they choose Giga because the work here means more.
